'''Second Floor'''

Here there are about 20 bedrooms, the Mistress' Bedroom and bath, and several smaller baths for the staff to use. The Mistress' Box is entered from up here, and looks down on the casino floor. Mistress Amelia can be found here most nights, watching the gambling and doing her homework. All of the rooms have windows.

'''Basement'''

All manner of stuff that sees infrequent use is stored down here. There's a massive boiler to provide hot water. Water comes from an underground river that passes beneath the mansion (it used to flow on the surface but changed course about 20 years ago. When it was on the surface it was called the Styx.

The laundry room is down here as well, so the scent of detergent fills the air. The vault is also down here, a massive metal room with 2 foot thick walls and a very serious door. The wine cellar holds a collection of fine vintages for those that don't drink blood.

The Bar There is a well stocked bar in the main room, near the craps table.

The Stable Besides the hitching posts in the front, there is a stable in the back. Make sure Karl doesn't eat the horses!

'''The Staff'''

Besides the maids, there's a small army of nearly identical young women who handle the tasks the maids are too busy to deal with and man the posts in the casino that the maids aren't covering. They can more or less be treated as scenery. They have no effect if they're assisting a maid, but if they have to do something on their own, they are considered to have a 1 in all attributes.

'''Duty Stations'''

There's lots of ways for Maids to stay busy in the casino. The following duties have to be filled each night, either by maids or by the staff.

Cashier, Assayer, Main room waitress, Theater waitress, Cook, Floor security, Crap's Table, Roulette Wheel, Dealer (4), Attendant in the private salons (2), Gofer (fetching things for the kitchen, clearing away used dishes, cleaning up messes, etc.), Mistress' Attendant (stay with Amelia to do whatever she asks, help her with her homework, etc.), Burlesque dancer.

'''The Old Well'''

There's an old, spooky well behind the mansion, in the middle of the garden. At the bottom is the river Styx. If you make a wish at it, something bad almost always happens.

'''The Pool'''

Also in the garden is a decorative pool. It's very pretty, if you ignore Karl the resident crocodile. Fortunately he likes the maids and the mistress. If somebody pokes Karl, he has a 3 in all attributes.
